Never Forget Me

Chapter 9: Life will go on

I make my way to the park and, sit on the swing. I can't take it. People say love is just an emotion but this is way more. It's as if I have developed a new person within me. Now staring at the fence, with a bottle of pills in my hand which I had picked up along the way, my life seems so insignificant. Everything I cried over made no difference I will soon be gone without a trace. 

I take the top off and pour half the bottle into my hand. That will be plenty. I don't think I deserve to die this way, my death should be more painful. I think back to Daniel's incident. That should have been me. I should have died that painful death.

It's finally time.

I bring the pills to my lips.

I take a gulp.

I take one last full breath.

I take one last look

A hand slap the pills out of my hands.

I jump off the swing.

"What do you think you're doing ?" I cry out facing Ryan.

"I can't let you do that, I love you too much." He says.

"WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU THEN." I scream out and feel my knees get weak.

I fall and Ryan catches me and brings us both slowly to the floor.

"I'm sorry, my head was not on straight and when I made my way to the prom I saw this on the floor," He says raising my necklace and putting it around my neck," You know you are very predictable."

We both laugh.

"Honestly if I was five and you told me I'd be where I was today I would have never believed you." I say gliding my finger nails along Ryan's thigh.

"Jessica, I really do love you and if I would have known you liked me back this much I would have told you sooner." Ryan explains lying down.

We just lay therein silence.

"Wait I've got something for you." Ryan says running away for a moment and coming back with a  fully made tent.

I laugh, "You don't expect me to sleep in that do you ?" I ask.

"Yes, I believe it's called rekindling an old flame." He says unzipping the ten 

Just like the night he left we sit there without a care in the world. No matter what would happen Ryan would always be there for me.
